This is the swing I've always fell back on when things weren't going right and after too long messing around with uncomfortable swings have decided to quit listening to all those trying to twist me into pro swings and just swing easy and smooth. Now I found your videos and am more optimistic concerning my game than ever before. I'm not a young flexible 25 yr old with pro talent and I can't swing that way without discomfort. Another thing I have found though is my distance hasn't really suffered, I hit my longest drive ever, 299 yards, with that easy smooth swing and I'm hitting more consistent shots than ever. Looking forward to better rounds, thanks.

[@chrislehman1343]

Never doubted you for a second. I picked up about 1/2 club with the "LA dance" just getting to my left side with consistency. I am going later this week to see where I'm at with a monitor. The advantage of course is to know not think how far I can hit each club. Just keep posting and I'll keep watching. I can see the brown grass this weekend so spring must be on the way here in snow country. Thank you, as always.

[@kentkraft5898]

Thanks Julian, Your time, and effort is greatly appreciated. New to golf ...less than 24 months ....but your videos and theory on swinging the club has really helped

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you Kent, your words go a long way in my book 👍

[@jporter504]

Nice video. Your swing is the perfect model for anyone at any age who wants to keep the mechanics and motion simple, promoting consistency. I am surprised that anyone questioned your shot distances and thus your integrity. I assume that some people are deceived by how smooth and easy the swing appears and conclude that your club head speed is much lower than it really is.

[@JulianMellor]

Dear Jo and Julian, thanks for your email. All well here in Finland (how else, we are the happiest country in the world, just to remind you 😀), hope with you, too. And the return trip worked out as planned, no problems but only a minor delay with the final flight from FRA to HEL. And likewise, it was a great pleasure to meet both of you as well as Patricia and Jeff there last week. You are such a lovely company and it couldn't just have been any better. We were so lucky to get such a high-level private coaching! My wife registered for a ladies golf training at our local club and the group started their season yesterday, they will meet ever Monday evening throughout the season. Thus, I used the opportunity to go and practise my new skills, and guess what? I hit so nice shots one after another that couldn't really believe it. Julian, even with my driver I could hit to where I was aiming, amazing 😊. Just remembered the basic principles and so simple it was... Then also spent some time in a bunker but it just got boring since it was too easy to get the balls landing where I wanted them to land 😂. My wife told me later than the husband of one of her friends had told her that Harri (a local pro) seems to be practicing over there in a bunker. My wife had just answered to him that no, that is my husband 😂. Finally, I went to test some chipping, and from different lies and distances it just simply worked... Relaxed... I did not take any video yesterday but next time I will. I will then send a copy to Julian and you can check if all is fine. But if it is going to be like yesterday, I don't think there's too much wrong... 😎 Following all the excellent advise from Julian, I guess I just remembered to follow it all. At least it was so easy and after 90 minutes my body was just feeling great, no pain nothing, not even stiffness this morning. However, I must disappoint you: most of the time I wasn't thinking anything at all but just having fun and enjoying golf, also doing those small exersices like hitting some shots when dancing from one side to another etc. 😀 Let's see when I'll have a chance to go to play a round, it will be fun! ☀️ Let's keep in touch, thank you once more so much for your kindness and hospitality during our visit there! All the best, kind regards Mika

[@davidmcclure6450]

Excellent video. Hit the pause at top of backswing and you can see that bowed left wrist, no cupping, helping distance and accuracy.

[@alangoudie2299]

AS expected very good distances with the ball going straight. For senior golfers like me the great advantage of ''the easiest swing'' is that we can enjoy playing golf without straining or hurting ourselves. When I play tennis & table tennis opponents 50 years younger do NOT give me several points start. In golf if you have any sense use your golf handicap & sensible club selection to beat the long hitting players. Julian's excellent,staightforward & easy to follow advice make a difficult,challenging game a lot easier. We should ALL be grateful to Julian rather than try & find some minor problems. Enough said. I hope many players agree & add appreciative comments to Julian. From Alan Goudie age 75 still playing with a handicap of 21.

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you for your kind words Alan 😀👍

[@johnwhittemore2284]

I started watching your videos about six months ago. I just broke eighty for the first time in thirty years. I am sixty nine years old. Thanks. John in Illinois.

[@rodgalilee7946]

swinging well, a joy to watch both yourself & Brian. Impressive distances with no effort. I too am just seeking a quality strike as yours. Distance isn't a big thing for me, the crisply struck ball is. Thanks Rod

[@Lapster]

Great, thanks for this Julian, I was one of the ones asking to see distances of shots hit with such a relaxed swing. This is fabulous and really proves the point that you don't have to try and smash it out of the park with tremendous effort. I'm prone to a bad lower back and also rib pain, and have been trying to adopt the easiest swing methodology. I hold the club very lightly as though I feel it is going to fly out of my grip (it doesn't!!), and swing like yourself and Brian. I'm not there yet, I keep thinning a few shots especially over the first few holes, and my 7 iron is only going about 130yds max, my timing and tempo doesn't feel quite right yet, I think I've still got some hangovers in there from my "old" swing - BUT NO BACK OR RIB PAIN in the last 6 rounds of golf !! :-) Thanks for all your efforts, and responsiveness to comments. I'm going to keep persevering with this until it becomes natural - I practice the Danse du Golf every day now, as well as yoga stretches twice a day. Hopefully I can carry on with my golf for a lot longer, pain free - I'm 64. Please keep going with your informative series of videos - much appreciated.

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you for your kind words Les, always appreciated 👍😀

[@robinc3307]

Les...I went to see Brian because of exactly the same problems as you...tearing rib muscle and lower back pain...I can only say the results have been incredible...my handicap had been steadily going up over the last few years...I had 2 lessons with Brian...although the second was only a little tune up of my head not my swing...I shot the lowest round of my life went fro 10 down to 8 and no pain ...no effort...I haven't lost any distance infact ive gained ...stick with it I can't speak highly enough of this teaching method...it just unlocks the golfer you have inside you...he's in there trying to get out...you just need the key!!

[@Lapster]

@@robinc3307 thanks for the reply and the encouragement, much appreciated. I'm certainly going to stick with it. Cheers.

[@golfingmadeeasy]

Very good video, Julian. I'd take those distances all day long. We've had snow and VERY cold temperatures in Indiana for 3-4 weeks (wind chill in the minus 30's). It's 32* today and I'm headed for the garage to "dance".

[@JulianMellor]

Now that’s cold 🥶

[@dre6021]

You are correct Julian. For confirmation we can always look to Ernie Els. Smooth, Easy makes for a more accurate and longer shot. Thank you for all of your great tips!

[@gracebuencamino4]

hi Julian. what's the mindset when using irons? i mean how do you take divots

[@JulianMellor]

Relax is number 1 so that your arms are at full length, 2 weight shift through impact 3 do we really need to take a divot, I’ve witnessed top pros stipe it and not take a divot and that’s with all clubs

[@cynt1111]

If you stand next to Ernie you could catch a cold from the drought he creates.

[@richardc6932]

Proof is in the pudding! Never doubted what you say. I can only hope that as I transition to this swing method that I will experience similar results. For years we have listened to teaching methods by many of those who think we must always follow or mimic a touring pro’s style while forgetting we are neither at the level of their play nor their physical condition. Thanks for a videos, a back saver!

[@JulianMellor]

Powerful words Richard 👍

[@tangocharlie9291]

Julian Mellor and Eric Berg. Two of the most amiable personalities on KZbin. You guys should do a video together so we could all be thinner AND better at golf!

[@JulianMellor]

That’s funny 😁, thank you for your kind words 🙏

[@stephenbowman2788]

Thanks Julian, you said that people challenge your distance please dont think I was doing that. Thank you for the link, very helpful. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more content. Thank you for posting.

[@JulianMellor]

No problem at all Stephen, I get asked all the time about this so that’s why I made the video 😀, thanks for subscribing and I hope you really benefit form the Easiest Swing 👍

[@jareroken9127]

I've just started using the easiest swing in the last few months, to start with I did well with it, then I started hitting a lot of fat shots. I've figured out that I still had some rigidity which seem to cause it, head kept down mainly. I've been practicing turning and just skimming the grass with the club and it's going well. Trust me, when you catch hold of one like this the ball is off like it owes you money. No lack of speed or distance.

[@JulianMellor]

That’s great that you have recognised the issue you were experiencing Jare, enjoy hitting effortless shots I say 😀👍

[@johnchetcuti9960]

Great video.

[@robinc3307]

Nice swing ...I was a bit surprised the distance with the 7 iron was high...but the driver not so long..not a criticism looks lovely and smooth....I am one of Brian's new pupils...I only hit the 7 about 150 ..but my driver is about the same as yours..I find it a bit strange i seem to be quite long with my short irons (pitching wedge 120) then mid irons seem to bunch up a bit ...and also when i really catch my 3 wood its as long as my driver..but with more draw shape... Loving the easiest swing and hitting it as well or better than i ever have ...but with much less effort

[@ruger3089]

Great video ,,,,I just wish I could get this swing down

[@aw7425]

Excellent Julian. Thank you. I’ll take any of your “bad” shots, ok?

[@FredCDobbs-er4qd]

You put those on an 80 degree day with a medium fairway and you get 250 easy and probably closer to 260+. If there is one thing I have learned it is that the slower I swing the easier it is to decrease grip pressure and when I do both I got "Bombs Away!".

[@JulianMellor]

There’s still 2 places left on my 2 day course on the 2/3rd of May if your interested in learning more about the Easiest Swing

[@yitsue6060]

I'm new to this very interesting swing due to lower back pain and I really like the idea. However I noticed that in this demo your left heal hardly leaves the ground in the back swing and your left hand elbow dose not bend at all in the back swing. I thought the idea is to allow the left heal to move of the ground and the left elbow to bend in the back swing all in the concept of tension release and fluidity moment no?

[@billrok]

Brilliant. If I could hit it 230 consistently I'd be a happy man!

[@JulianMellor]

Hello everyone, thank you for your comments, unfortunately my Dad passed away a couple of days ago and I just need some time to adjust and come to terms with things, my apologies if you’re waiting for a reply, I will come back to you once things get back to normality. Warmest regards Julian

[@randythomas8738]

...so sorry for your loss... : (

[@edlloyd976]

Super stuff, I think you can easily add 5 to 8 yards if it were warmer. Be interesting if you repeated this during the summer and include a 9 iron!

[@JulianMellor]

I can do that Ed, and remember it’s carry and no roll 😀👍

[@oldgold5848]

Great stuff, such an easy looking swing. I carry similar distances but look like a set of bagpipes falling down a ladder in doing so......

[@JulianMellor]

OLDGOLD lol 😂

[@hakirk1]

Julian always enjoy your videos. I noticed you are talking about ball speed and not club head speed. In today’s market there seems to be a lot of advertising for faster clubhead faces allowing the ball to come away faster. What is more important clubhead or ball speed?

[@JulianMellor]

If I mention club head speed golfers try to swing faster and faster, if you want to know my iron speed you divide it by 1.31 and driver speed by 1.47 😀

[@hakirk1]

Julian Mellor Easiest Swing Coach v

[@jackswanzy]

I love the videos and the concept but the weight transfer seems to have given my left knee enough inflammation in the tendon that I'll need to lay off golf for some indefinite time.

[@henrymckenna4126]

I found that my irons are to short ( bought off the rack , not fitted to me ) . So I’m more crouched over than u. ( at least I learned something). P.s love you videos

[@JulianMellor]

Thanks Henry, glad you are finding them helpful

[@motty147]

Great video, still amazes me.how much distance you get with seemingly no effort. If I were to have a one to one lesson with you would you use a launch monitor at all? Thanks.

[@JulianMellor]

If you wanted to 👍

[@clivewood2236]

Hi Mr Mellor, may I ask why you used a tee peg for the iron shots and the driver appeared to be pulled slightly. I want your sytem to work because at 78 my handicap seems to be going into orbit. Clive Wood

[@pedroc6823]

Let’s remember those are carry numbers. Depending on the temperature and condition of the course. A driver at that distance could go 270 or more. In this cool day those are probably worse case distance.

[@My-2-Cents]

I can see why people would doubt such an effortless swing could produce such good distance. I am not a doubter, I am a disciple, but I wish you would have shown all the numbers and given us enough time to read them. I’ve watched most of Rick Shields golf club reviews and always enjoyed seeing all the numbers, even though his “facts” don’t have anything to do with my 60 mph swing.

[@pipebliss]

Nothing at all wrong with those numbers. I'm sure the driver would roll out to 250-260y which is great for courses up to 6500 yards. What is the loft on your 7i?

[@JulianMellor]

Thank you, 7 iron, I have no idea it is what it is

[@danielcoxon3557]

I notice your left heel doesn't lift as much on your swing nor much head movement yet in le danse both are much more pronounced. Any comments?

[@georgegonczarek2501]

I notice u don t ground your driver and u have a slight forward press b4 u hit the ball

[@JulianMellor]

Yes, I do them both naturally, hovering the driver has always felt very comfortable for me

[@michaelwswift7152]

How do you know that your maximum speed is just after the ball? I understand how you would know that your club head speed is at the beginning of your swing but after the ball is hard to understand.

[@JulianMellor]

If you ever get chance to Use a swing caddy or swing rite they will give you the feedback

[@profpaulhardt]

Julian, very helpful. I’m a relatively short golfer...5’8”. Just out of curiosity, how tall are you? At my height, can I expect to get the same distances you are getting?

[@JulianMellor]

Hi, I’m 6ft tall, height wouldn’t be reason to hit the ball a shorter distance , Ian Woosnam is proof of that

[@CloranM]

These distances are more than adequate. Look at the LPGA averages... they routinely play 6500+ yard courses and hit it shorter, and they TEAR IT UP,

[@tryNtryAGAIN]

Hey Julian ,is a softer flex needed with that kind of easy swing . Thanks always for your vids Keep up the good work

[@JulianMellor]

You can, I use regular graphite now instead of stiff steel

[@tryNtryAGAIN]

@@JulianMellor I think I will try out irions with graphite shafts and see if they work better for me .Thanks again

[@seancoxe3577]

Brian Sparks, in his book, says that the club's ultimate goal isn't the golf ball or even the target, but the back of the golfer (i.e. a complete follow through). The biggest difference I see between your swing and mine--or any of my buddies--isn't the set-up or backswing, but the followthrough. Your easy swing builds speed gradually BUT DOESN'T SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE CLUB IS OVER YOUR LEFT SHOULDER. Am I on the right track? Is that what I'm seeing? BTW, a good 7-iron for me is 130; very depressing.

[@JulianMellor]

That’s absolutely correct Sean , great observation, the route of the swing is not the ball but the finish 😀

[@jerryphillips5777]

@@JulianMellor great observation, its what i am not always doing. Thanks for this imfo,

[@danielrojek8346]

So Julian, are you saying that your iron club head speed is approximately 88 mph ?

[@JulianMellor]

Yes about that

[@brianneitzel2932]

Hitting the driver 231 meters or yards. And does that include roll as I cannot see how it could?

[@JulianMellor]

It’s in Yards Brian

[@JulianMellor]

Not including roll

[@tonysdivot]

Tony Bumstead Interesting video Julian. I noticed your arms do not bend on the backswing as does Brians. If you did would there be a lessening in swing speed? I ask as at 86 I am trying to regain some swing speed and am thinking of going to a straighter arm backswing

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Tony, I would encourage you not to straighten your arms, mine look straight but they are completely relaxed

[@dickdick999]

I have proved it myself. When I hit easy it goes just as far and more accurately. There are always disbelievers

[@JulianMellor]

Awesome

[@japice1]

Julian let preface my comments by saying I love all your videos. The easy swing method is very relaxing when playing a golf shot, BUT I am a pessimist when it comes to flight scopes and radar caddies. The shot you show with the seven iron can't possibly carry 161 yards, and the driver a 230 carry? No way. My swing is around 80+ and I'm lucky to get 200 yards. In the video, your swing looks like it's about 80 at most. How can that get you 235 yards carry? You need to be near 100 mph to get that distance. Don't hate me for my comments, as I said I love all your videos, they are very educational, but if you want to convert me on the distance you will have to show me your shots on a driving range with the ball traveling in the air, not a flight scope.

[@JulianMellor]

Hi Joe, Thanks for your feedback, one thing I would never do is try and kid anyone, I’m not here to convert anyone I’m just sharing the Easiest Swing Methodology and philosophy, I could show you hundreds of testimonies from people who’ve tried it and who’ve come along for coaching. I don’t feel I need to try and convert you Joe. One piece of advice, never underestimate the efficiency and speed of a relaxed body that moves in coordination with the club , ps I don’t hate anyone 😀👍

[@strummer9837]

Julian I love what you and Brian are doing I am an avid follower. But sadly watching this video your swing seems to be like the modern day professional swing not the easy swing that you advocate and usually demonstrate.
